Abstract
This paper comments on “Today’s economics: one, no one and one hundred thousand,” published recently in EJHET. The original paper offers a welcome discussion of economics imperialism in the recent and contemporary history of economic thought. This response critically interrogates three of its main ideas, that: (i) economics imperialism is a bygone era; (ii) economics experienced a phase of reverse imperialisms; and (iii) economics has therefore become truly pluralist and welcoming of heterodoxy. Drawing on Ben Fine’s theoretical framework and the example of natural capital, I argue that economics imperialism is alive and well, if under the guise of interdisciplinarity.
